In light of the recent changes within all of our\nlives that Covid 19 has had, we feel, here at Smilecraft<\/strong>, that it\u2019s time to make the most of the cutting-edge\ntechnologies which are at each of our fingertips. We\u2019ve taken it upon ourselves\nto combine our dental expertise with new emerging technologies to allow for\npatients to have their teeth professionally assessed and their concerns voiced\nwithin a digitalised environment which does not require them to visit our\npractice. If you are asking what is an e-consultation<\/a> from\nus here at Smilecraft<\/strong>, then have no\nfear. Our expert technicians and practitioners have worked tirelessly to create\na seamless experience which is easily accessible to all those who need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can technology help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question of \u201cWhat is an\ne-consultation<\/strong>?\u201d\nis something which, understandably, many people across the country have been\nincreasingly asking. In\nresponse to the recent Covid 19 restrictions, we understand that many people\nacross the country are more hesitant to have face-to-face contact. This being\nsaid, we do still recognise the importance of maintaining a good level of oral\nand dental health. As a means of ensuring that our patients get the best\npossible care from us here at Smilecraft<\/strong>,\nwe developed the SmileMate Virtual Consultation System. If you are\nalready aware of the specific issues or concerns that you have with your teeth,\nthen SmileMate allows patients to explain them to a dental expert in their own\nwords. This information is filled out within a section dedicated to the\npatient\u2019s dental expectations. In order to best correctly assess the health of\nour patients\u2019 teeth, and the extent of treatment they may need, we also ask\nthem to send in a picture of their teeth so we can make a more established\nobservation and best decide on a treatment plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can new patients expect at an e-consultation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a new patient to our practice here at Smilecraft<\/strong>, then you can have every\nconfidence. We have engineered our digital constellation software to be easily\naccessible to all – including any older patients who may require treatment. The\nfirst, and most crucial stage in the e-consultation process is the information\nwhich patients put in the \u2018your expectations\u2019 section. After the patient has\ndetailed their dental needs, concerns and wants within the section and sent in\nthe relevant pictures if they are required, then our expertly trained dental\ndiagnostic and specialist practitioners can then process this information. They\ncan then contact you again with a uniquely made, patient tailored treatment\nplan which has been crafted in such a way that it best meets the needs and\ndesires which you, the patient, have clearly laid out. Some of the most\ncommonly detailed problems which can be treated through an e-consultation include\nchipped or broken fillings, dental swellings and many forms and degrees of\ndental trauma. Patients also reach out to us through e-consultations to seek\nout information on orthodontic treatments which we offer here at Smilecraft, as\nwell as cosmetic dentistry options which cover a wide range of different\ntreatment options. Anyone who is looking to have their oral wellbeing seen by a\nprofessional team of dedicated specialists – without having to leave the\ncomfort and safety of their own homes – ought to begin their e-consultation\nwith us here at Smilecraft at the next convenient time to them.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
